Ardmore 11, 2008-2020, Ex Laphroaig Barrel 708513, 57.1% – Archives

Posted on 8 February 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s not entirely unique, but Ardmore seems to be the distillery that uses other distilleries’ casks most. And I’m not talking about bourbon casks being used in Scotland, but Scottish single malt distilleries’ casks being reused at other single malt … Continue reading →

BTC #7: Glenburgie 1995-2016, 21yo, 54.1% – Archives

Posted on 13 December 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

So far, I’ve not guessed one distillery correct, and only got points for age and region. On one day I got points for the ABV because it wasn’t a cask strength bottling and we were informed the lowest ABV in … Continue reading →

Two other Archives: Glentauchers and Glen Keith

Posted on 1 August 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The ‘non-Speyside’ whiskies from the recent Archives release are a Glentauchers 1996 and a Glen Keith 1992. Obviously both are from the Speyside region, but they aren’t marked as an undisclosed Speyside distillery. Both are a bit weird in regards … Continue reading →

Glen Keith 1992, 21yo, 51.5% – Archives (Fishes of Samoa)

Posted on 8 January 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another Archives bottling from the Fishes of Samoa series. The guys at Whiskybase are using this label theme for quite a while, contrary to The Whisky Agency for example, who only have a theme for some four bottlings each time. … Continue reading →

Kildalton 2007, 54.4% – Archives (Fishes of Samoa)

Posted on 27 November 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

One of the side effects of ordering at Whiskybase is that they generally and generously toss in a couple of wee samples of their Archives range. This means some new things to taste every once in a while, from a … Continue reading →

Ledaig 7yo, 2005, 62.8% – Archives, Fishes of Samoa

Posted on 14 February 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

First things first. I have no experience with Ledaig from the 1970s. I do have some experience with Ledaig from the last 20 years or so. I do not like those whiskies. Every time I try one I hope that … Continue reading →

Glenrothes 1988, 53% – Archives, Fishes of Samoa

Posted on 13 February 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Two more Archives samples to review. This is the second to last. I didn’t pick an order, I just randomly grabbed a sample from my bin. Of course, I selected the Archives first, since those were supplied by a company, … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain 1987, 50.2% – Archives, Fishes of Samoa

Posted on 12 February 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

To follow up on yesterday’s cracking Deanston, I’m going through some more Archives bottlings until Friday. Today’s post goes to a 25 year old Bunnahabhain from a ‘Dark sherry cask’. Bunnahabhain is a distillery who’s product usually goes very well … Continue reading →
